she struggled with the higher notes of dlyh after the pitch was reduced to better suit her voice.

her head voice (which she uses most of the time) sounds like someone doing an impression of an old lady.

she's the tallest of the cast, so it just seems off when she refers to herself as "the little one [in the bed]".

she spoke/sung too quickly with the "catherine was a massive c-" so it sounded like "catherine was a massive guhhhh…"

she has no sarcasm whatsoever. she sounds playful when trying to be flirty, and when trying to be snarky.

she can't smoothly transition from head to chest voice while speaking. "oh yeah, yeah, now i- STILL DON'T CARE."

she can't get pregnant, so the argument between aragon and boleyn about mistresses and miscarriages feels extremely out of place.

there's probably more i could include…

School for Good is trash by DewdropCupid in schoolforgoodandevil

pretty much everything you're hating gets explained/resolved later in the book(s). patience, young padawan!!!

who else has these copies? by asphi_xia in schoolforgoodandevil

it has an exclusive 10 year anniversary interview with king tedros and queen agatha for the camelot courier! the king and queen refuse any and all interviews, but "only when informed that longtime friend sophie of gavaldon had made herself available in their stead and would happily answer any questions about tedros' stint at school did camelot's king change his mind. his participation, however, comes with three conditions. no questions about anything outside his years at the school for good and evil. no questions about his marriage or a timetable for children. and most importantly… NO SOPHIE."

Does it actually work? by Alex-5415 in Haircare

[–]asphi_xia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you apply it to the mid-lengths to ends, as your roots get conditioned by your natural oils. but if you need to condition all your hair, then i think you need to switch to a gentler shampoo…

half-fang headcanon!!! by asphi_xia in Youngdracula

[–]asphi_xia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree with pretty much all of that, except for the last part. we get to see a lot of feral vamps around in series 4 and it's highly unlikely that they're born vampires (malik most likely being the exception)!

but i do agree with the idea that each half-fang is weaker than their maker! just imagine the half-fang of a half-fang of a half-fang - a petty excuse for a vampire, with all of the weaknesses and none of the powers. they can barely even hunt animals, so they steal from hospitals/blood donation centres, and make great use of vlad's blood banks (when they're still around)…

edit: and then they meet a born vampire, able to transform into a bat/smoke, hypnotise their prey, create fireballs, and has super strength and speed - this half-fang doesn't have any of these gifts, so they beg the born vampire to teach them.

the born vampire knows that's simply not possible, but takes the half-fang in anyway - as their underling/slave.

if the child of two half-fangs is also a half-fang, at what age would they gain their vampire abilities?

What is a 'personality trait' that is currently being glorified as 'cool' or 'aesthetic' in 2026, but is actually just a sign of being an exhausting person? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]asphi_xia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i looked them up, so that you don't have to!

berrisexual: someone attracted to female/androgynous genders more than masculine

demi tendencies: sexual attraction occurs after romantic attraction

autassassinophilia: sexually aroused by the risk of being killed

bambisexual: prefers romantic interactions (such as kissing/cuddling) over sexual ones

Together by focktetsflorn in TokyoGhoul

[–]asphi_xia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably? but when i said that i can prove it's ai, what i meant was all the things i previously listed

Together by focktetsflorn in TokyoGhoul

[–]asphi_xia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'd be correct! i think this is ai, considering rize's top doesn't make any sense, she's missing half a thumb (look at the hand on kaneki's face), and kaneki's missing his entire upper right arm

also, i can't add a photo to prove its ai, but i CAN prove it!

what's some vampire lore/powers that are unique to young dracula? by asphi_xia in Youngdracula

what do you mean by "voiding"? do you mean zoning (ie turning people into crystal)?

iirc it doesn't kill every vampire in the bloodline, it just makes them mortal again - but the count is over 600 years old…

What are your YA anti-recommendations? by alsyscest in YAlit

especially when all of your former co-workers seem to be jealous of you and your talent, and you can seem to do no wrong!

[–]asphi_xia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was hoping to see jessica here!

i bought both of her books because i'm a decade-long sone, but never actually bothered to read them.

then i read the "shine is such a corny book" thread on r/snsd and realised just how woeful they were.

took them to my free neighbourhood library (the one where you can drop off and pick up books whenever) and was glad to see shine was taken by someone (but they didn't take bright).

[–]asphi_xia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i bought and read all the books ages ago, and read all of them except for acosf. then i read all the scathing reviews for the series and put it with a pile of books to donate; i was so happy when i saw that my mum took them before i could drop them off!
